LEVEL TWO - All Creatures Great and Small
Code: L2SCI
Course of Study:
This is a general Science course that is internally assessed. It will be made up of a selection of standards chosen from:
Biology,
Agriculture,
Earth and Space Science,
Environmental Sustainability and
Physics.
The course design (standards) will be based on student interest. For the standards that are chosen, we will fit them around the concept of all organisms on Earth.
This course will have practical and written aspects to it and if students do well it will allow them a pathway onto Level 3 Biology.
This course cannot be taken in conjunction with Level 2 Biology.
Assessment
Up to 16 credits
Entry requirements
